The president gets one right in the field of cyberwar:
With increasing attempts by computer hackers in China, Russia and elsewhere to break into and sabotage federal and private computer systems, Obama is set to propose a far larger cyberwarfare program than the $17 billion, five-year effort approved by Congress last year, unnamed military and intelligence officials told Tuesday’s New York Times.
Some interesting details…
Among the computer warfare innovations reportedly being considered by the Pentagon is one that would allow a U.S. programmer to secretly enter a server in a foreign country and destroy a “botnet” before it could be deployed in the United States. Botnets are malicious programs that let users commandeer PCs and use them to spread code to other machines, creating vast networks of zombie computers that can be controlled remotely.
In a country where information technology rules this is where part of the fight has to take place, logistics are very important and can make or brake things in warfare and infrastructure. I’m glad to see these guys on it.
